Re: Change my last name on personal information section
Your ward clerk or membership clerk is probably the best person to help figure out and solve this. If your ward clerk can't solve it himself, he can arrange contact with the Global Service Center if they need to be brought in.mgbonhard wrote:There seems to be a disconnect between my lds account and the membership info m clerk can access.

You will need to ask your clerk to contact support to make changes that he cannot make.RABUCOPA wrote:No puedo cambiar mi apellido en la cuenta .en la ficha de miembro de barrio ya se cambió.peeo en la cuenta sigue el antiguo apellido.como se arregla.
Google translation: Deberá pedirle a su empleado que se ponga en contacto con el servicio de asistencia para realizar cambios que él no puede hacer.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
Like many others, I have not been able to change my last name on the church account. I have updated every church site and profiles that I can think of. The membership clerk has updated my membership record. Yet on the temple portal contact information page, it still shows my previous name. Even though there is an edit option, I cannot change my name. Help

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
Does it appear correctly in the Ward Directory and Map website? If not, then the membership record still isn't correct. If it is, then it's a problem with the temple portal. Is there a contact/feedback link on that page?terikleinman wrote: Sun Jan 14, 2024 1:43 pm Like many others, I have not been able to change my last name on the church account.

Re: Change my last name on personal information section
You may wish to ask your clerk if he has checked your name in four places. Your Full name, your Preferred name, your Maiden name, and your Household (last) name. Any one of these can cause the problem you are seeing if it is not correct.terikleinman wrote: Sun Jan 14, 2024 1:43 pm The membership clerk has updated my membership record.

If the temple portal information is still wrong after that, ask your temple reorder or his assistant to check and see if your name imported correctly from Church records. It is also possible that if you were already in the temple system when your name changed, it did not update in TIS. Your temple recorder or assistant will be able to follow up on that also.
